I have a 338-06, I never felt under gunned when I'm carrying it.
I have used Nosler 225 Partitions with success. I have a load worked up with 200 Nosler A/B, I'm going to start a work-up with Barnes T-TSX 210 grain.
Have a good day.

I found 51-52 gr RL15 was great with the 210 TTSX ! Sable wildebeest zebra bush pig waterbuck all one shot kills with this load.

Any favorite loads for the 9.3x62? I've been asked to load for a friend who got one on a 96 action, so not sure how concerned I need to be about pressure.

I have 9.3x62 and .338WM rifles and these are my favourite rounds for where I hunt, BC. I have LOTS of others, but, much prefer these to my .300 mags and .375H&H rifles.
I load 250s exclusively in the seven .338WM rifles I currently own and 286s in my four 9.3s and if I HAD to choose only one, ghastly idea, the .338WM,WW brass, CCI 250s, RE-22/76 grs, 250s, especially the NP, is IT, for me.
My latest, a birthday gift to myself, last July,is my second Dakota 76-.3338WM and as with my first of these bought May, 1994, it puts this load under an inch at 100 consistently...and is just under 8.5 lbs. all up with superb balance....the ideal BC rifle.

Kute, is that you? If so welcome back you old war dog, if you are not a certain old war dog who used to post under a different name than please disregard this first comment.
SNAP, 76 grains of RL 22 seems hot and compressed? What kind of velocity are you getting? Any issues with pressure?
FWIW I am in complete agreement on running only 250grn bullets in a 338wm.

Not SNAP but I do have a .338 and my usual load is 76/R22 over 225 gr. Partitions. Velocity is just at 2,800 FPS. Have used the same charge under 250 gr. bullets and is stout but not a problem. Haven't chrono'd that one.
